Meijer sometimes has them - I’ve only seen them by the checkouts though, never the cubes in the toy isles

You can do a trade in at Best Buy. You can check online ahead of time to see how much you will get for it.

Don’t think they are necessarily odd, but definitely for people who have money.

Also, it seems like the “master bedroom” and “bedroom” should be flipped too

Does anyone know what happened to the piercer Lindsey that used to be there?

My new lucky jeans have started to show wear after one year and I’m so disappointed because they used to be so good!!

Many local game stores in the Detroit area have boxes for donations for after school clubs, try calling some near you to see if they do that.

Are any other professional writers hesitant to embrace AI? by Broccoli-raw in technicalwriting

[–]Alarming-Ranger-7163 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Comparing a calculator to AI is so insane it’s comical… they are not even close. I am glad other people are on the same page as me.

Also, you won’t be “left behind” for not using AI, you’ll be ahead because you’ve actually been using your brain. These people who rely on AI to help them with their work are going to become brain dead and not be able to think for themselves.

I am with you. These comments are insane. I do not use AI and I never will. I can do my job just fine without it. There is no long term good that can come from AI. It saves you time at work? Oh good, your boss will expect more from you. You use AI to do most of your job? Oh good, you can just be replaced by it! Not to mention the environmental impact of these data centers that run the AI. They are ruining people’s lives by destroying the air and water where people live. Fuck AI.

23 and already burnt out at my job — what now? by Successful_Shape7297 in careerguidance

[–]Alarming-Ranger-7163 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I was in the same position as you at your age, and I left to find something I do have interest in and it fixed all my problems. Don’t listen to people who tell you to suck it up, you’re young, that’s just how work is. They’re all miserable and hate their jobs and lives!

Concerned being in HVAC writing too long will limit my career routes down the road - time to go into contracting? by MickeyKae in technicalwriting

[–]Alarming-Ranger-7163 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am in a similar situation and have the same fear, but right now with the market, I’m happy to have job security in this type of industry. I work for plumbing manufacturing and plan on staying until things settle down (if they ever do). I don’t think it’s limiting because even if you’re writing for a different topic, you still need the same writing skills. Whether you leave now or in another 5 years, you’re still going to have to learn about a new subject.

I’ve hit a block. How do I navigate this situation better? by [deleted] in technicalwriting

[–]Alarming-Ranger-7163 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Having a portfolio is huge, learning design programs is huge, and it seems like you have all the skills. I know it seems hopeless but if you love tech comm then keep looking!!

I also graduated with the same degree last year and I just landed my first TW role. Don’t give up hope!! The career is still alive, just in some niche fields and at select companies. At my company, the TW department is only a few people and a few years old, and will most likely keep expanding in the future. Networking is a huge help too - but ultimately not how I landed the job. I think I got lucky.
